Man that is the fastest hands I have ever seen in my life....LOL...cant wait to see this come to life....I have a professional made biomask....but nothing compares to an aluminum one...LOL...cant wait to see the other videos to come

 

Thanks for the tip I'll give i a go

 

Predator Bio Mask Build P3
Excitement plus, in this update I talk about a box and..... Another Box! :lol

 

Very nice work on the box ! I am really huge predator fan, looking forward to what you are going to accomplish with the mask as well

 

A quick side project while I'm waiting on glue to dry

 

Exellent vids; cool project...

 

Predator Shuriken box and a bit moreof an update on the mix of stuff I'm working on.

 

Love your projects! Keep up the great work!

 

This one is the making of the sand mold and casting the mask, it was a bit touch and go, but it looks like I've go a workable piece, the fully packed box was almost 100kg of sand, so my son helped with some of the heavy lifting.

 

Looking forward to seeing it when you work out the issue.

Great tip on the LED light stripping too. Neat stuff.

 

Sorted....

 

That is freaking amazing! So just for clarity, the cavity in the sand is hollow and is self supporting? Or did I miss something?

 

Yep... Self supporting... Thats why it tends to be a struggle with such a large casting box, I'm realy pushng it for what my backyard operation can do, but this one supprised me so I'm happy for now... and its given me some new ideas for the next one.

 

2nd stage of the clean up and the cutting in of th eye holes

 

WOW, this looking so good.

 

Not a lot to talk about in this one so i've done it in a bit of a timelaps style, the lasers arrived late today so I'm going to have a look into their setup next.

 

Remarkable

 

WOW that looks so amazing.

 

Work of art. Love watching your videos!

 

Outstanding! Maybe I missed it in a previous video but how much does it weigh roughly? Can't wait to see it finished

 

Sorry for the slow reply I could'nt find my scales :facepalm....... Found them !.... It's 7kg on the dot or about 15.5 pound definitely not wearable "mask" but that was not my goal, still a bit heavier then I wanted, this one has taught me a bit and the mark 2 version should be lighter

 

Wow! Yeah not too wearable but a great display piece!

 

Depends on the person as to whether it's wearable or not. For an average sized person, it'd be a bit cumbersome. For someone that is about the size of a "Predator," it wouldn't be too bad. I've had costume pieces weigh as much or more than that. But then I'm of a quite substantial stature. I'd love to see a full helmet made to accommodate the mask!

 

Stunning! Love watching the videos, you are a true artist and craftsman.

 

Absolutely amazing !

 

This time around I'm working out the setup for the tri-lasers and build a base for the mask.

 

WOW! MDF really is the craftsman's clay. Looks brilliant.

 

Finishing the wiring setup for the display stand and attaching the dreadlocks.

 

I love the hidden switch. Well done. The dreds look good too. And good call on the LEDs for the laser site with the public. Even if you had signage that clearly read "laser in use" there will always be some clown that feels the need to test it. And the last thing you want is a personal injury claim filed against you over someone's stupidity.

 

The final weathering and setup of the Predaor Bio Mask
On to other projects for now but keep an eye out for the mark 2 version

 

I've said before and will say it again. Amazing!

 

Such talent!

 

Loved watching this come together. Fantastic job! :thumbsup

 

Wonderful job!

 

Thanks for the encouragement guys.... Quick demo of the laser setup

 

Again super awesome. That direct look into the lasers looks very cool, however probably why you might not want to set these up for public display.

 

Really enjoyed watching this build. Can't wait to see the next one!

 

Kicking of a new one or two

Looks excellent, great work but watch those fingers with the band saw :thumbsup

 

And I thought my mask was a challenge...I haven't seen anyone else do a bio mask with dreads directly integrated without an underlying head, I started with the airsoft mask, already rigged to be worn. Added dreads and the lasers. I have pop in eye opening covers that react to black light. I was trying for the P1 'those eyes' green look. Jury is still out, the light may have to come from within.

I made this post knowing it would make yours look better as it is light years beyond my primitive example. Hats off to you mate, you have truly created a thing of beauty!

 

I have that same mask. I also have the same size P1 (but not very accurate) It is shame both are only 3/4 the proper size. I want a proper 1:1 bio like the one Jamie cut up to make his.

As for the eyes, in the first film they were yellow. In AVP-R they were more blue/green (cyan) like your UV reactive eyes are.
